New US Space Policy Demands 1000 Rocket Launches a Year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We read the National Space Transportation Policy in full. Signed 20 August 2026, it shreds the 2013 directive and rewrites how the US gets into space, moves around up there, and comes back down. The War Department is all over it. Launch ranges, reentry infrastructure, a clause about accommodating launches within 48 hours of need. You don't build a 48-hour capability to do science. Somebody expects to lose a satellite and need a replacement up fast. Here's what we think stops it. Not rockets. Not
The Real Reason We Stop Asking Questions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do we stop asking questions as adults? Philosopher Pia Lauritzen has analysed 30,000 of them, and says nothing was ever lost. The ability stays. What changes is the price. Every question admits you don't know something, and nobody gets promoted for ignorance. Ask in the wrong room and curiosity starts to feel like an interrogation, which is why most of us learn to keep the question to ourselves. She proves it in keynotes. One minute, two rules, and every person in the audience writes one. Th
AI Music: What Will Be The Last Song We Listen To Together? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nicholas Ponari says AI music makes live performance more valuable, not less. Mark Fielding calls the same future a hellscape. Ponari's scenario: by 2045 his son types a script into a generator, gets a feature film in the style of Kubrick crossed with Tarantino, and hits publish. Everyone becomes a creator in every medium. Nobody can consume a fraction of it, so AI becomes the largest curator in history. Mark's objection is that shared culture dies with it. No song anyone else has heard. No film
The Hard Question of AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The US and China are racing to build AI systems that could lead to superintelligence before any enforceable global rules exist to inspect them, limit them or verify what they can do. Mark and Jeremy Think On Paper about The Hard Question of AI, an essay by Planet CEO Will Marshall. Marshall argues that AI governance now needs the same kind of verification, trust and global protection as nuclear weapons. That means more than voluntary safety tests and China and America laying down their AGI sword
Why AI Companies Keep Wasting Billions On Idle GPUs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI companies are splashing billions on more GPUs before they use the ones they already have. Many sit idle, others use a fraction of their potential. For the hyperscalers, cloud providers and AI companies, buying more GPUs does not solve much if the GPUs already in the rack spend too much time waiting for the rest of the system. The next battle in the AI infrastructure wars is efficiency: GPU utilization, NICs, memory movement, networking, CPUs and software that keeps expensive hardware doing us
